Hey all!
I went to E3 yesterday (the perks of working in the video game industry) and I stopped by the Disney booth. They had a bunch of stuff on display including Tron 2.0, Nightmare Before Christmas Game Teaser, a sweet Kim Possible Game Boy Advance game and, of course, TOONTOWN ONLINE!!!
They were playing the game on four computers arranged around a sculpted toonish display. They even had gumball machines filled with jelly beans!
I talked for a while with a very nice woman named Laurie who indugled my toonish geekiness by not telling me to leave. I gave her my card, but I doubt she'll email me! I mentioned Toontown Central and she said that they get lots of "immediate" feedback from the community here.
There were computer disks (I snagged one) containing the E3 trailed that you can see in the Toontown Online downloads section.
Oh yeah, there were also cogs!!!! I got a picture with some, right before hitting them with a pie and doing my victory dance.
I don't know why I didn't get a shot of the display area (though you can kinda see it in the background of my picture). Maybe I'll see if one of the guys from work who's going back today can get an image.
I haven't played since Beta 2, but this got me excited again. I think I'll have to see if I can play. At the very least, my roommate will be happy. She likes to see everyone's victory dance!
